Donated by Lynn Slobogian.

Meet the Joneses, the Iqbals and the Chalfens. Three families - all English to varying degrees - and involved in each other's lives in every conceivable way - personally, politically, historically, genetically. Different colours, different religions and different sides of the unforgotten colonial fence, they have one thing in common: a small borough of North London where extremism of all kinds is the order of the day and the dilemmas of previous generations are obsessively played out in the present.
